Tip

Luzern-Interlaken-Express

We recommend that travelers from Zurich airport take the route through Luzern (external page Luzern–Interlaken Express) in at least one direction because of the spectacular views along this route. However, the trip between Bern and Interlaken along several lakes is also very beautiful. The Swiss Transfer Ticket covers both connections. Get your tickets through one of the links above or at the station.

Luggage service

If your flight is with Swiss (the airline, or Edelweiss), then for your return journey you can use the external page flyrail service and check-in your luggage at the station in Interlaken-Ost the day before your flight. At the same time, you’ll also receive your boarding card, complete with seat assignment.
